This is a poorly run rescue. We spent over an hour filling out an application for a dog we were…read morevery excited about. A few days later we got approved, and we told that they were waiting to hear back from the foster for more information about her and to schedule a time to meet. We were very excited to meet her and have a new addition to our family. We didn't hear anything for a week and then she was removed from the website. I had to reach out and ask what was going on as there was no communication. Turns out that AFTER we were told we could adopt her, the foster decided to keep her. While I'm glad the she found her forever home, it was very heartbreaking, such a letdown and a giant waste of time. This experience definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

They have a two week trial to adopt period, so you can be sure the dog would do well in your home. I have fostered with them a lot and they always provide foster dogs with needed veterinary care. I highly recommend Homeward Bound Rescue!

We fostered 2 dogs through here. The first dog was really sweet and would have kept her. She did…read morenot communicate when she needed to go to the bathroom and peed on our carpet. So not housebroken. I also needed to drive 40 minutes during my work day at 11 am for a meet and greet. Dog #2 was a dog from hell. This dog spread dog food all over the floor, dropped tennis ball in water, wanted to play fetch non stop. Chewed a toilet paper roll and harness. The dog would not settle down. They sent cbd chews and suggested giving it Benedryl so we could sleep and so could the dog in a kennel in our garage. They blamed lack of socialization. We returned the dog on Saturday morning. We have been wanting to foster again. Replying to Facebook pleas and even leaving a voicemail. We are obviously on some do not foster list.

The entire experience was positive from start to finish. Elizabeth and Megan were especially wonderful to work with. They were kind, helpful, and clearly very passionate about what they do.

You can tell how much they advocate for these dogs and work to find them the loving homes they deserve. We are so grateful for everything they do and for bringing our puppy into our lives.

After another failed relationship, I decided to put my love and energy into something that would…read moreyield positive results. I was looking to help a homeless animal as a Valentine's Day present to myself. It seemed that the cats in Minneapolis and St. Paul were either maladjusted, or too tired from being bothered all day to show any personality or affection (kind of like the guys I've dated). My mother told me about PetFinder.com. She adopted her mobility assistance dog from the site. I did a search and decided to go look at a Siamese mix at this location. Unfortunately, the cat ended up having a serious health problem that had just been confirmed the day I drove out to get him. While waiting I had the chance to go into the shelter and meet the other kitties. All of them were very entertaining and had vivid personalities. You could tell they had been cared for well, but hadn't been over stimulated. I found them all to be much nicer than any of the cats in the Twin Cities' shelters. They didn't try and push me to take the sick cat, nor did they try and dump a second cat on me. I had ample time to visit with them all and made a decision on a seemingly mellow striped male. He is definitely not mellow, but he's one of the best cats I've ever had. He has a great personality and we cuddle every night. This relationship has lasted 1 year, 7 months, 19 days and counting. I have a good feeling it is going to break the record.
